Tht  io>,  ale  of  Manila  Bay 

"When  yon  %re  ready,  you  may  fire,  Gridley." 

With  these  words,  cool  and  unimpassioned  as  a  morning 
greeting,  Commodore  George  Dewey  opened  the  battle  of 
Manila  Bay,  the  most  famous  naval  conflict  since  Trafalgar. 

The  battle  was  fought  on  the  morning  of  May  i  1898. 
It  made  Commodore  Dewey  an  Admiral.  It  raised  the  stand- 
ard of  the  American  Navy  to  the  first  rank.  It  was  the 
beginning  of  the  end  of  Spain's  naval  power.  It  altered 
national  policies  as  it  changed  geographies,  and  helped  to 
transform  the  United  States  from  an  insular  to  a  world  power. 
The  following  account  of  the  battle  is  abridged  from  the 
official  reports  made  to  the  Naval  Department. 

When  it  was  announced  that  war  had  been  declared 
between  the  United  States  and  Spain,  the  Pacific  Squadron, 
under  command  of  Commodore  George  Dewey,  was  in  the 
harbor  of  Hong  Kong.  Repairs  were  being  made  on  some  of 
the  vessels,  and  stores  were  being  shipped  in  anticipation  of 
the  campaign,  which  every  far-seeing  naval  officer  believed 
must  result  from  the  strained  relations  between  the  two 
countries.  War  was  practically  declared  on  April  21.  The 
British  Government,  under  her  declaration  of  neutrality, 
ordered  the  American  Commander  to  take  his  squadon  out  of 
Hong  Kong  harbor  within  twenty-four  hours.  On  April  22, 
Commodore  Dewey,  with  his  flagship,  the  Olympia,  the  cruisers 


Raleigh,  Boston,  Baltimore,  Concord,  and  Petrel,  and  the  revenue  cutter  McCulloch,  steamed  out  for  Mirs  Bay. 
Two  days  were  spent  in  preparing  the  vessels  for  immediate  action  and  painting  them  the  dark-gray  of  war. 
Then  the  voyage  to  the  Philippines  began. 

Early  in  the  morning  of  April  30,  the  squadron  arrived  off  Bolinao,  where  Commodore  Dewey  expected  to 
find  some  of  the  vessels  of  the  enemy's  fleet.  No  ships  of  war  were  in  sight,  and  the  squadron  proceeded  without 
delay  to  the  entrance  of  Manila  Bay,  which  was  reached  in  the  afternoon  of  the  same  day.  After  a  fruitless 
reconnoisance  of  the  Port  of  Subig,  by  the  Boston  and  the  Concord,  the  American  Commander  determined 
that  the  object  of  his  search  was  in  closer  proximity  to  the  city.  There  was  nothing  to  do  but  to  go  after  it, 
even  though  it  was  currently  reported  that  the  bay  was  heavily  mined.  Just  before  midnight  the  squadron 
steamed  through  the  south  channel  at  a  speed  of  eight  knots  without  interference,  except  for  a  harmless 
cannonade  from  a  Spanish  battery  on 
Corregidor  Island,  on  the  south  side 
of  the  channel.  The  Boston  and 
McCulloch  returned  the  fire  with 
but  little  damage  to  the  enemy. 

Proceeding  slowly,  the  squadron 
moved  on  through  the  channel  and 
arrived  off  Manila  at  daybreak. 
Almost  at  once  the  land-batteries  in 
front  of  the  city  and  two  at  Cavite 
opened  fire,  while  the  Spanish  fleet 
which  lay  at  anchor  in  a  long  line  in 
front  of  the  latter,  threw  a  number 
of  shots  at  the  American  vessels. 
The  challenge  was  promptly  taken 
up  by   the  American  Commander. 


A  signal  was  displayed  from  the  Olympia  ordering  the  squadron  into  action. 

With  the  flagship  leading,  and  the  Baltimore,  Raleigh,  Petrel,  Concord,  Boston,  and  McCulloch  following 
in  the  order  named,  the  American  squadron  moved  in  toward  the  Spanish  fleet,  from  which  at  19  minutes  to 
six  o'clock,  according  to  Commodore  Dewey's  report,  the  first  American  shot  was  fired.  The  American 
squadron  was  then  moving  along  in  a  line  approximately  parallel  to  the  Spanish  line,  and  from  3,000  to  5,000 
yards  distant.  The  American  fire  was  as  destructive  as- it  was  continuous.  The  Spanish  ships  and  the  land 
batteries  poured  forth  a  vigorous,  but  ineffective  fire.  No  reply  was  made  to  the  batteries,  the  Americans 
devoting  their  entire  attention  to  the  ships.  Having  completed  the  primary  evolution,  Commodore  Dewey 
signalled  for  countermarch.  Then  the  squadron,  the  Olympia  again  in  the  van,  swept  back  past  the  Spaniards 
thundering  their  broadsides  of  shot  and  shell,  with  terrible  execution,  into  the  doomed  fleet.  The  enemy 
fought  with  the  reckless  vigor  of  desperation,  but  did  little  damage. 

The  second  evolution  was  completed  at  7.35  o'clock.  Then  Commodore  Dewey  hoisted  the  signal  "Cease 
firing,"  and  withdrew  to  give  his  men  a  breathing  spell  and  replenish  his  magazines.  As  Commodore  Dewey 
put  it,  "  to  give  the  men  their  breakfast." 

But  two  incidents  of  especial  character  marked  the  first  attack,  and  both  showed  the  valor  of  the  Spaniards. 

Shortly  after  the  attack  began,  two  launches,  armed  with  torpedoes,  made  out  from  the  fort  with  the  evident 
intention  of  blowing  up  the  Olympia.  This  divertisement  was  met  by  a  hot  concentration  of  the  flagship's  small 

5 


calibre  fire  upon  the  launches.  One  was  sunk  and  the  other  so  disabled  that  the  men  who  manned  it  made  for 
the  beach  to  avoid  a  similar  fate. 

The  second  was  more  formidable  in  its  nature.  At  seven  o'clock  the  Spanish  flagship,  the  Reina  Christina, 
was  noticed  leaving  the  line  in  front  of  Cavite  and  turning  toward  the  American  squadron  with  the  evident 
purpose  of  engaging  the  Olympia  at  short  range.  The  entire  battery  of  the  big  flagship  was  turned  on  the 
Spaniard.  Riddled  with  shot  and  shell,  and  on  lire  in  a  dozen  places,  she  was  driven  back  to  seek  shelter 
behind  Cavite  Point.  She  was  in  a  sinking  condition.  In  another  hour  the  waters  of  Manila  Bay  had  closed 
over  her. 

After  a  wait  of  nearly  four  hours,  the  American  squadron  again  headed  for  the  Spanish  fleet.  The  second 
attack  began  at  i  i  .16  o'clock.  The  Spanish  ships  had  suffered  terribly.  Many  of  them  were  in  flames,  and 
from  all  the  fire  was  ineffectual  and  less  frequent.  At  12.30  o'clock  the  firing  ceased,  the  land  batteries  had 
been  silenced,  and  the  Spanish  ships  were  all  sunk,  burning,  or  deserted. 

With  the  enemy's  ships  rendered  hors  du  combat,  the  squadron  withrew  from  Cavite  and  anchored  in  front 
of  Manila.  The  Petrel  remained  behind  and  completed  the  destruction  of  the  small  gunboats  which  had  run  in 
behind  Cavite  Point  for  protection. 

The  Spanish  lost  the  following  vessels:  Sunk — Reina  Christina,  Castella,  Don  Antonio  de  Ulloa.  Burned 
— Don  Juan  de  Austria,  Isla  de  Luzon,  Isla  de  Cuba,  General  Lezo  Marques  del  Duero,  El  Correo  Velasco, 
and  Isla  de  Mindanao.  Captured — Rapido  and  Hercules,  and  several  launches. 

No  material  injury  was  inflicted  on  the  American  ships  by  the  enemy's  fire.  Not  a  life  was  lost,  and  only 
seven  men  were  wounded. 

On  the  day  following  the  battle,  May  1,  the  squadron 
moved  to  Cavite,  and  on  the  next  day  the  Spanish  garrison 
evacuated  the  arsenal,  which  was  immediately  occupied  by 
a  landing  party.  On  May  2,  the  Raleigh  and  Baltimore 
compelled  the  surrender  of  the  garrison  on  Corregidor 
Island,  and  Manila  Bay  and  its  approaches  were  all  in  the 
hands  of  the  American  Navy.

Dewey's  Reception  Planned 


Public  agitation  over  giving  Admiral  Dewey  a  reception  by  the  city  upon  his  return  from  Manila,  which 
began  early  last  winter,  led  to  the  adoption  by  the  Municipal  Assembly  on  May  16  of  the  following  resolution  : 

Whereas,  The  people  of  the  United  States,  with  absolutely  no  dissentient  judgment,  regard  Admiral  George 
Dewey  as  the  unrivalled  hero  of  the  late  Spanish-American  war,  not  merely  on  account  of  the  superb  genius  and 
magnificen-t  daring  which  he  displayed  in  entering  Manila  Bay  on  May  r,  1898,  and  in  the  complete  destruction  of 
the  Spanish  fleet,  but  also  on  account  of  the  wise  statesmanship  and  dignified  self-control  which  he  has  shown  since 
that  time  in  his  conduct  of  affairs  as  commander  of  the  American  fleet  in  the  Philippines;  and 

Whereas,  The  triumph  of  the  American  fleet  in  the  Philippines  and  the  conspicuous  ability  of  its  commander 
have  added  a  new  page  of  glory  to  the  history  of  our  beloved  country;  and 

Whereas,  The  citizens  of  New  York  have  always  been  first  among  American  municipalities  in  their  loyalty  to 
the  Stars  and  Stripes  and  in  their  alertness  to  recognize  with  praise  and  gratitude  all  memorable  services  rendered 
to  this  nation  by  the  United  States  Navy;  and 

Whereas,  It  is  now  officially  announced  that  the  United  States  Flagship  "  Olympia  "  is  about  to  return  home 
under  the  command  of  the  distinguished  successor  of  Farragut  and  Porter,  and  that  it  is  expected  to  reach  New 
York  harbor  in  the  month  of  August  next;  and 

Whereas,  The  public  press  and  opinion  of  this  city,  reflecting  the  sentiments  of  the  American  people,  de- 
mand that  especial  honor  shall  be  paid  to  Admiral  Dewey,  to  the  officers  and  crew  of  the  victorious  flagship  on  its 
arrival  in  New  York;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  the  Mayor  of  the  City  of  New  York  be  and  he  hereby  is  requested  to  appoint  a  representa- 
tive committee  of  citizens  for  the  purpose  of  making  all  necessary  arrangements  to  give  a  fitting  patriotic  reception 
to  Admiral  Dewey,  the  officers  and  crew  of  the  United  States  Flagship  "  Olympia"  on  the  occasion  of  their  arrival 
in  the  harbor  of  New  York. 

On  June  6.  the  Municipal  Assembly  authorized  the  expenditure  of  $150,000  by  the  City  to  carry  out  the 
celebration  program.  Mayor  Van  Wyck,  on  June  17,  named  a  Citizens'  Committee  of  one  thousand  members. 
The  Committee  of  One  Thousand  was  called  to  order  by  Mayor  Van  Wyck,  on  June  21,  to  organize.  The 
Mayor  was  made  permanent  Chairman  and  Alfred  M.  Downes  Secretary.  The  Mayor  was  authorized  to 
appoint  an  Executive  Committee  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  members.  In  a  brief  talk,  Mayor  Van  Wyck 
outlined  to  the  Committee  the  work  before  them,  as  follows  : 

Although  the  hero  of  the  Spanish-American  War  has  already  started  on  his  homeward  voyage,  returning  from  the  triumphs 
of  Manila  Bay,  yet  he  is  journeying  by  such  slow  stages  that  it  will  be  two  months  before  he  reaches  the  shores  of  the 
American  continent. 

"This  Committee  has  been  appointed  and  this  meeting  called  for  organization,  at  this  early  day,  so  that  every  systematic 
and  orderly  arrangement  may  be  made  for  extending  a  welcome  to  Admiral  Dewey  that  will  show  the  esteem  and  respect  in 
which  he  is  held  by  the  American  people. 

"This  celebration  and  reception  was  conceived  in  a  broad  and  liberal  spirit  by  the  people,  and  it  must  be  carried  out  in 
every  detail  in  the  same  spirit,  and  the  demonstration  in  his  honor  must  assume  such  proportions  as  to  convince  the  whole 
civilized  world  that  in  free  America,  where  every  citizen  is  a  sovereign,  the  people  know  how  to  do  honor  to  American  heroes.

At  the  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee,  named  by  the  Mayor,  and  held  June  26,  General  Daniel 
Butterfield  was  made  permanent  Chairman,  and  Warren  W.  Foster,  Secretary.  Sub-Committees  were 
appointed,  as  follows:  On  Reception;  to  Confer  with  National  and  State  Authorities;  Land  Parade  and 
Decorations  ;  Shipping,  Harbor  Decorations  and  Water  Parade  ;  to  Arrange  Railroad  and  Steamboat  Rates  I 
Printing  and  Badges  ;  Music  and  Fireworks  ;  Press;  Erection  of  Stands  ;  Refreshments;  and  Auditing.  Lists 
of  the  Members  of  these  Committees  will  be  found  elsewhere. 

These  Committees  at  once  organized,  and  ihe  Chairman  of  each,  together  with  Chairman  Butterfield  and 
Secretary  Foster,  of  the  Executive  Committee,  were  made  a  Committee  on  Plan  and  Scope.  Offices  were 
opened  in  the  Governor's  Room,  at  City  Hall,  where  the  work  of  preparation  has  been  carried  through. 

On  June  30,  Mayor  Van  Wyck  wrote  to  Admiral  Dewey,  as  follows  : 

Admiral  George  Dewey,  United  States  Navy  : 

Dear  Sir — The  people  of  this  city,  profoundly  impressed  with  your  services  to  the  country,  and  desirous  of  expressing  their 
appreciation  of  your  victory,  have,  through  the  Municipal  Assembly,  taken  action  providing  for  an  official  reception  to  you  on 
your  return  to  this  country. 

As  Mayor,  and  acting  on  behalf  of  the  people  and  their  official  representative,  I  have  therefore  the  honor  to  tender  to  you, 
on  behalf  of  the  City  of  New  York,  a  public  reception  on  your  arrival,  and  to  extend  to  you,  as  the  guest  of  the  City,  its  hospi- 
talities and  courtesies. 

General  Daniel  Butterfield,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Citizens  appointed  under  authority  of  the  Municipal 
Assembly  to  arrange  such  a  reception,  will  communicate  with  you  by  this  mail.  Awaiting  information  as  to  the  probable  date  of 
your  return,  I  am,  most  respectfully  yours, 

Roijf.rt  A.  Van  Wyck,  Mayor. 

General  Butterfield  wrote  more  in  detail  of  the  plans  of  the  Committee.  On  July  24,  Mayor  Van  Wyck 
received  a  cablegram  from  Admiral  Dewey,  then  at  Trieste,  accepting  the  invitation.  The  Admiral,  by  mail 
the  same  day,  sent  the  following  acceptance  : 

United  States  Flagship  "Olympia," 
Trieste,  Austria, 

July  24,  1899. 

Hon.  Robert  A.  Van  JVyek,  Mayor  of  New  York  : 

Dear  Sir — I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  letter  of  June  30th,  tendering  me,  on  behalf  of  the  City  of 
New  York,  a  public  reception  upon  my  arrival,  and  extending  to  me  the  hospitalities  and  courtesies  of  the  City. 

In  accepting  this  invitation  I  desire  to  express  my  deep  sense  of  gratitude  to  the  citizens  of  New  York  and  their  represent- 
atives for  so  signally  honoring  me. 

It  is  impossible  at  this  time  to  fix  the  exact  date  of  the  "Olympia's"  arrival  at  New  York,  but  I  shall  endeavor  to  inform 
you  definitely  by  cable  from  Gibraltar.  I  am,  sir,  very  truly  yours, 

George  Dewey.

THE  NEW  UNIFORM  DESIGNED  ESPECIALLY  FOR  ADMIRAL  DEWEY. 


Hi 


Admiral  George  Dewey 

dmiral  George  Dewey  was  nearing  his  sixty-second  birth- 
day when  he  destroyed  the  Spanish  Fleet  in  Manila  Bay. 
He  comes  from  the  Green  Mountain  State,  and  was  born 
in  Montpelier,  December  26,  1837.  He  was  a  son  of  Dr.  Julius 
Dewey,  descendant  of  an  old  New  England  family,  dating  back  to 
1633.  He  was  educated  at  Norwich  University,  a  famous  mili- 
tary college  of  Vermont.  He  preferred  the  navy  to  the  army, 
and  secured  an  appointment  to  Annapolis,  which  he  entered 
in  1854. 

There  were  fourteen  men  in  the  graduating  class  of  1858, 
and  George  Dewey  stood  fifth  in  his  class.  After  his  graduation 
he  was  ordered  to  the  steam  frigate  Wabash,  then  cruising  with 
the  Mediterranean  squadron.  In  1859  he  returned  to  the  Naval 
Academy  to  receive  his  final  examinations. 

W  hen  Sumter  was  fired  on,  Dewey  was  at  Montpelier. 
Just  one  week  later,  April  19,  1861,  he  was  commissioned  as 
Lieutenant  and  assigned  to  duty  on  the  sloop  of  war  Mississippi, 
of  the  West  Gulf  squadron,  under  Farragut.  The  Mississippi,  a 
side-wheel  steamer  of  seventeen  guns,  commanded  by  Melancton 
Smith,  was  the  third  in  the  line  in  the  famous  dash  past  Forts 
Jackson  and  St.  Philip.  It  was  the  Mississippi  that  shelled  and 
sank  the  Confederate  ram  Manassas.  A  year  later,  the  old  side- 
wheeler  ran  aground  in  the  Mississippi  river  near  Port  Hudson, 
and,  completely  riddled  by  the  Confederate  batteries,  was  burned 
to  the  water's  edge. 
26 


After  the  loss  of  the  Mississippi,  Lieutenant  Dewey  was  assigned  to  the  smaller  gunboats  of  the  squadron, 
and  early  in  1864  was  transferred  to  the  gunboat  Agowan,  of  the  North  Atlantic  Squadron.  In  March  of  the 
following  year,  Lieutenant  Dewey  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-Commander,  and  assigned  to  duty 
on  the  famous  old  sloop  Kearsarge.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  was  transferred  to  the  steam  frigate  Colorado, 
flagship  of  the  European  squadron. 

Lieutenant-Commander  Dewey  was  ordered  home  from  the  European  station  early  in  1867,  and 
assigned  to  duty  at  the  Kittery  Navy  Yard  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  It  was  while  in  Portsmouth  that  he 
met  Miss  Susan  B.  Goodwin,  a  daughter  of  Ichabod  Goodwin,  War  Governor  of  New  Hampshire,  whom  he 
married  in  October,  1867. 

Shortly  after  his  marriage  he  was  assigned  to  duty  at  the  Naval  Academy  at  Annapolis.  Two  years  later 
he  was  placed  in  command  of  the  Narragansett,  and  on  April  13,  1872,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
Commander. 

In  1876,  Dewey  was  called  to  Washington,  to  be  made  a  Lighthouse  Inspector,  and,  later,  Secretary  of  the 
Lighthouse  Board.  He  commanded  the  Juniata  on  the  Asiatic  Station  in  1882-83,  and  on  the  27th  of 
September,  1884,  was  made  Captain,  and  put  in  charge  of  the  Dolphin,  one  of  the  four  new  vessels  which 
formed  the  original  "White  Squadron."  In  February,  1897,  Capt.  Dewey  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
Commodore. 

Under  the  suggestion  of  Assistant- 
Secretary  of  the  Navy,  Theodore  Roose- 
velt, in  1897,  Commodore  Dewey  was 
put  in  command  of  the  Asiatic  Squadron. 
He  raised  his  flag  over  the  Olympia,  in 
the  harbor  of  Hong  Kong,  January  3, 
1898. 

On  February  13,  of  this  year,  Mr. 
Hale,  Chairman  of  the  Naval  Commit-

EDWARD  DEWEY  THE  LATE  DR.  JULIUS  DEWEY  HON.  CHARLES  DEWEY 

Brother  of  the  Admiral  Father  of  the  Admiral  Brother  of  the  Admiral 


tee  in  the  Senate,  favorably  reported  a  bill 
creating  an  Admiral  of  the  Navy.  It  passed 
both  houses  without  a  dissenting  vote,  and 
President  McKinley  forthwith  appointed 
Commodore  Dewey,  Admiral  of  the  Navy 
of  the  United  States,  a  position  not  existing 
since  the  death  of  his  old  commander,  Admiral 
Farragut. 

Admiral  Dewey  has  one  son,  George  Goodwin 
Dewey,  who  was  born  in  1872.  He  is  in  busi- 
ness in  New  York.  The  mother  died  a  few  days 
after  the  birth  of  her  son. 

Of  the  personality  of  Admiral  Dewey,  one 
of  the  ablest  of  the  brilliant  young  war  corre- 
spondents, who  was  with  him  at  Manila,  has  this

"  He  has  a  square  face,  and  its  most  prominent  feature  is  the  rugged  under  jaw.  The  eyes  are  wide  apart, 
and  set  well  back  under  heavy  brows.  The  forehead  is  high,  broad  and  bold.  The  nose  is  large  and  the  mouth

he  does  not  jump  at  conclusions,  and  there  are  times  when  he  is  very  deliberate.  He  reasons  to  determinations, 
and,  whatever  his  personal  preferences  or  beliefs  or  feelings,  he  can  disassociate  them  entirely  from  his 
work.     His  logic  machine  is  absolutely  sound  and  in  finest  order.      It  turns  out  conclusions  with  mathe-

matical  precision.  The  sharpest  critic  he  has  can  hardly  find  one  point 
in  the  long  record  made  in  Manila  Bay  where  he  can  put  his  finger 
down  and  say,  "  There  Dewey  made  a  mistake."
